Burpee Exclusive

A sensational breakthrough, Lacy Frills is the first white lavender from seed and the most cold tolerant of them all. You'll love the clean white spires, loaded with florets floating above finely cut, blue-gray leaves. Durable, disease tolerant plants bloom first year from seed. Plant near walkways and entrances to enjoy the sweet, refreshing aroma. Fantastic looking mixed with blues and purples.

How to Sow

Start indoors about 6-10 weeks before last frost in a warm, sunny area. Sow seeds 1/4" deep
in seed-starting formula. Place containers in a south facing window or under grow lights until seedlings emerge. Keep moist. Seedlings emerge in 14-28 days at 70-80 F.

How to Grow

Transplant to larger containers when seedlings have at least two pairs of leaves. Before transfer to the
garden, accustom to outdoor conditions by moving to a sheltered area outside for a week. After last frost, set lavender plants out in garden 12" apart in a sunny, well-drained location with average soil in spring after danger of frost.

Harvesting

Lavender leaves and flowers are valued for their fragrance. Use them fresh or dried to make a soothing tea; add the dried parts to potpourris. Lavenders are excellent plants for a border, container, or rock garden; they also make a great low hedge.
